Quick info
About Brown Cow
Brown Cow is a pub in Bradford at 63 Town Gate. Its decking area is set up for an all-day session, so a visit can run well beyond a quick drink. Inside, pool is available, and cocktails are on the drinks list for anyone who wants something beyond the usual pint. A punch machine stands at the front, and "Smile you're on Camera" signs mark the premises. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the people, describing a friendly, welcoming local pub with a good laugh and a decent set of regulars, where there is never a dull moment. Pool, a nice beer garden, a decking area for an all day session and a lovely front seating area come up, along with dog friendly seating, good offers on drinks, decent prices and a good selection of alcohol. Several say it suits locals best. One finds it a tricky place for anyone who is not local, and another calls it a standard working man's pub. Others label it the rough pub, citing a punch machine at the front, signs warning of cameras, little kids screaming during the day and no sport channels. One adds that with a couple of estates nearby it may not suit a weekend with the family. One reviewer waited at the bar after the staff member left the premises and came back from shopping, and chose not to order another drink.
